I will remember this book for the rest of my life.
“I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have. But there were none that seemed big enough for it, to hold that swelling truth.
As if he had heard me, he reached for my hand. I did not need to look; his fingers were etched into my memory, slender and petal-veined, strong and quick and never wrong.
“Patroclus,” he said. He was always better with words than I.”

One of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever read. Heart breaking and unjust, as are the gods of this world. With so much humanity throughout. I will never forget his name- Petroclus, the best of men.

My heart!
